摘要
Biofilms are communities of bacteria immersed in an extracellular matrix. Biofilms are considered a defensive strategy that protects bacteria from a hostile environment, including our immune system. Vidakovic et al. recently reported that Vibrio cholerae can build biofilms around immune cells and kill them, discovering an aggressive role for biofilms.
